Two 13-year-olds vanished from the Oklahoma State Fairgrounds on a September evening in 1981. Cinda Leann Pallett and her friend Charlotte Kinsey left the fair after being offered a job unloading stuffed animals from a truck; they were last seen at the fairgrounds around 5:30 p.m. and never made a planned 9:00 p.m. call to arrange a ride home for a sleepover at Cinda’s house.

Cinda was last seen wearing a white jersey-style shirt with dark blue sleeves and a ZZ Top cartoon and number 81 on the back, size 12 slim blue jeans, two-tone blue tennis shoes, and a rust or orange braided nylon rope belt with a leather buckle tooled with Cinda’s name. She had brown hair, brown eyes, and a small scar below her left eyebrow.

Investigators focused on carnival worker and truck driver Royal Russell Long after two teenage boys reported being given the same job and driven to a truck stop, where Long left with the girls. Long was charged in 1985 but the charges were dismissed for lack of sufficient evidence; he later died in prison in 1993 while serving unrelated sentences. The disappearances remain unsolved.

Anyone who was at the Oklahoma State Fair in late September 1981 or has information about the girls or the man who offered them a job is asked to come forward.
